Have not seen this posted here and I believe it is new. Tried it out yesterday and could be very useful and protect people from fake websites etc so I thought I would share.
FMHY SafeGuard is a browser extension that keeps you safe by checking websites against the latest filterlists from FMHY Filterlist. The extension categorizes websites as starred, safe, unsafe, or potentially dangerous, giving you peace of mind while browsing.
Key Features
Real-time Site Status: Instant feedback on whether a site is starred, safe, unsafe, or potentially unsafe, with visual toolbar icons.
Updated Filterlists: Utilizes the frequently updated FMHY filterlist to ensure protection from the latest unsafe domains.
Pop-up Alerts: Get easy-to-read pop-ups that inform you about the site status and allow further action.
I think the target audience of this is the people who wouldn’t know how to add a list to ublock let alone having a DNS filter service or people just jumping back into piracy but yea your point stands.

I don’t think your giving people much credit. Anyone on here who can bind their VPN to their torrent client can easily handle this.
I mean the filter list github literally provides instruction. So does ublock, so does pretty much any DNS filtering service.
This isn’t rocket science. All it takes is like 2% effort.
